Whangarei Airport manager Mike Chubb said while it was not unusual to have flights delayed or cancelled due to weather, it was strange to have such a late flight - the 9.30am arrival - canned due to fog.

"Usually it's the earlier flights, 9.30am would be about the latest we'd get fog. (Yesterday) was an unusual one I think," he said.

The Air New Zealand arrival, as well as several small private planes, were delayed or diverted yesterday.
